Richard, to solve your specific problem about the build products location you
can do either of the following
1) build with xcodebuild and set an absolute path in the SYMROOT env var.
Something like
xcodebuild -scheme yourScheme clean build SYMROOT=`pwd`/build
When you run that you’ll see that xcodebuild acknowledges your override with
Build settings from command line:
SYMROOT = /Users/xxx/xxxx/xxxx/build
2) In Xcode->prefs->locations->advanced you can select “Legacy” and by default
your build products will be placed in $(SRCROOT)/build
It sounds like this legacy settings is really what you want. If you use Xcode 5
you’ll need to make the same change.
